A news video and accompanying text reveals a very doglike, hairless creature being touted as the legendary "goat sucker" or chupacabras. The video claims the animal has an opposible thumb, a feature found only in primates. Is this another "Texas blue dog" incident? And are all the images in the news video of the same creature? Meanwhile, tales related by one of America's most famous frontiersmen are brought together with tales from a classic novel in Daniel Boone's Yahoo = Bigfoot? Elsewhere, David Orr throws some blame for Creationist claims against Evolutionists toward cryptozoology in the two-part series Scaphognathus crassirostris: A Pterosaur in the Historical Record? and Goertzen's Case for the Historical Scaphognathus.

Claims by a California Bigfoot research group that they have evidence of the legendary creature have made their way into at least one online news site, as Loren Coleman reveals in this report. Coleman includes images of what is believed by Sanger Paranormal, the Bigfoot research group, to be an imprint of at least one Bigfoot left on a vehicle window and a 12-inch-long footprint the group thinks was made by the creature or creatures. And Coleman takes your attention away from the alleged Bigfoot imprint with a report, replete with images, on the figures representing cryptozoology found on your television screen, as seen in Cryptozoo's Top Ten Hottest TV Personalities? Elsewhere, reports of a "globster" on the beaches of Barbados can be found, with photos, in Strange Carcass Washes Up Again and Strange Creature Washes Ashore.
